We scored free tickets to the Professional Bull Riders performance last night. It was hard to believe that we had $80 seats because we had a lot of trouble seeing the action. These bulls come out of the chute in a massive explosion of thrashing mad muscles and hooves. They usually throw their riders in the first five yards or so, therefore the action is only located directly in front of the chute. Squirming and bending, we could barely see over the plethora of cowboy hats in front of us. Consequently, we left at halftime. As we walked out of the area, I could only think about that fact that we had better seats than most. Those fans had only the gigantic monitor to catch the action- which they certainly could do at home on their TV.
I was visiting my daughter and son-in-law the other night when I asked if I could borrow a newspaper.
'This is the 21st century, ' he said. 'We don't waste money on newspapers.
Here, you can borrow my iPod.'I can tell you, that bloody fly never knew what hit it.
Kids say the darndest things
I was eating breakfast with my 10-year-old Granddaughter and I asked her,
"What day is tomorrow?"; She said "It's President's Day!"
She is a smart kid. I asked "What does President's Day mean?"
I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln .... etc.
She replied, "President's Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House,
and if he sees his shadow, we have 4 more years of Bull Shit."
You know, It hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose!
